Uttar Pradesh Minister Danish Azad Ansari claimed that the Samajwadi Party does not have any leader to fight the Lok Sabha polls against BJP in Uttar Pradesh and therefore the candidates were returning back their tickets.
By replacing Atul Pradhan with Sunita Verma as its candidate from the Meerut Lok Sabha seat, the Samajwadi Party (SP) made a statement of intent as it is all set now to pose a tough challenge to the BJP's star candidate Arun Govil of 'Ramayana' fame.
Samajwadi Party is likely to change its previously announced candidate for the Lok Sabha elections from the Meerut seat once again, replacing Atul Pradhan with Sunita Verma, the wife of former MLA Yogesh Verma.
Union Minister Smriti Irani, state cabinet minister Prahlad Singh Patel, BJP MLAs Brijendra Pratap Singh and Sanjay Pathak were present on the occasion.
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak exuded confidence that Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) will win all 80 seats in the state in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
After the Supreme Court granted bail to AAP MP Sanjay Singh, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav hoped that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren would also get "justice."
Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in the country, the Samajwadi Party (SP) has announced its candidates from Agra and Meerut.
SP has fielded Atul Pradhan from Meerut and Suresh Chandra Kadam has been made the candidate from Agra.
Samajwadi Party replaced its candidate for the Khajuraho Lok Sabha constituency. The party has fielded Meera Deepak in place of Manoj Yadav. Meera Deepak will face Madhya Pradesh BJP president and sitting MP V D Sharma.
Taking a dig at the BJP-led NDA at the Centre, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday questioned why it was 'scared' of the AAP and other Opposition forces if it was so confident of going '400 paar' (beyond 400 seats) in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"As far as corruption is concerned, it is a long list. Why have we not got donations? It is a new invention that ED, CBI and IT are deployed and donations are raised. The BJP will not say anything about this corruption. No one in the universe has lied as much as the BJP," Yadav said speaking
